Our Impact at Immanuel, our First Pathways Community
In four years of growing a Pathways program at Immanuel, this community has launched five significant initiatives unique to its community needs and mission. We’re excited to share the impact…
155+ Registered for One-On-One Mentoring Conversations
“My experience with Pathways has been much more than traditional mentoring — I call it conversing and sharing. The journey is rewarding, and affirms my long-held view of Immanuel as a family.”
5+ Guide Teams Participating in the Imagining Your Future Program
"A Guide Team is an atmosphere of complete trust... it's people that come with open hearts and a willingness to share and listen."
210+ Participants Across Eight Forums
"I loved the discussion and hearing the insight of people from all different ages and backgrounds!"
100+ Hand-Picked, Curated Resources Utilized
"This is so helpful for our youth. It can allow them to extend their network of knowledge and experience.”
3 Rounds of Internships Funded for Economically Disadvantaged Students
"I’d been getting career tunnel vision—where I could only picture myself doing a few things— my mentors have helped me break out of that thinking."
We’re Expanding to More Communities!
McLean Islamic Center
McLean Islamic Center has partnered with Immanuel to co-host and co-lead Pathways forums, and a number of its congregants -- both young people and adults -- have actively participated.
McLean Baptist Church
We’re working with McLean Baptist Church on its “Open Doors” outreach mentoring program, including for clients of SHARE of McLean, which is a program to support those with food insecurity. We are also helping McLean Baptist start a Pathways “in-reach” program.
Trinity United Methodist Church
We’ve invited young people at Trinity United Methodist Church to participate in Pathways forums and are working with them to start a Pathways “in-reach” program.
